Mice lacking social memory molecule take bullying in stride
The social avoidance that normally develops when a mouse repeatedly experiences defeat by a dominant animal disappears when it lacks a gene for a memory molecule in a brain circuit for social learning, scientists funded by the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) have discovered. Mice engineered to lack this memory molecule continued to welcome strange...'Biobullets' fight harmful mussels
British researchers have developed a "biobullet" that could help control an invasive mollusk that has ravaged U.S. waterways for nearly two decades clogging water pipes, virtually wiping out some native mussels species and causing billions of dollars in industrial damage. The new microcapsules, which contain toxins that dissolve within a zebra mussel's digestive tract, offer a safe and cost-effec...Silver bullet: UGA researchers use laser, nanotechnology to rapidly detect viruses
Waiting a day or more to get lab results back from the doctor's office soon could become a thing of a past. Using nanotechnology, a team of University of Georgia researchers has developed a diagnostic test that can detect viruses as diverse as influenza, HIV and RSV in 60 seconds or less. In addition to saving time, the technique ?which is detailed in the November issue of the journal Nano...Growth hormone is not the anti-aging bullet for healthy adults
A review of published data on use of human growth hormone (GH) by healthy elderly people found that the synthetic hormone was associated with small changes in body composition but not in body weight or other clinically important outcomes. Further, people who took GH had increased rates of unhealthy side effects such as soft tissue swelling, joint pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and, in men,...Female chimps keep the bullies at bay
Female chimpanzees may have found a fool-proof way to ensure they mate with only the highest ranking males, namely those with important social and physical characteristics that their offspring may inherit, according to a new study by Akiko Matsumoto-Oda from the Department of Welfare and Culture at Okinawa University in Japan. Female chimpanzees do not synchronize their reproductive activities w...GST•Tag™ Antibody Plate from Novagen
Description:The GST•Tag™ Antibody Plate is a 96-well ELISA-compatible plate containing immobilized GST•Tag Monoclonal Antibody. This antibody (mouse IgG glutathione-S-transferase (GST), and binds with high affinity to virtually any GST•Tag fusion protein in which the tag is exposed. These plates have excellent binding characteristics,...Red Taq DNA Polymerase from BullsEye from MIDSCI
Description:Bullseye Red Taq DNA Polymerase is a thermostable recombinant DNA polymerase, which exhibits very high activity in primer extension and other molecular biology applications. Red Taq contains a red dye which provides easy and quick identification of reactions to which enzyme was added and allows confirmation of complete mixing. The inert dye has no effect on downstream processes. Red Taq is add...LIC Duet™ T7•Tag® Ek Adaptor from Novagen
Description:The LIC Duet™ T7•Tag operator, ribosome binding site (rbs), ATG translation initation codon, and an N-terminal T7•Tag coding sequence. The T7•Tag is a small epitope tag (11 aa) that is useful for detection of the target protein with T7•Tag Monoclonal Antibody and purification using the T7•Tag Affinity Puri...LIC Duet™ GST•Tag™ Ek Adaptor from Novagen
Description:The LIC Duet™ GST•Tag™ Ek Adaptor encodes a T7 promoter, operator, ribosome binding site (rbs), ATG translation initation codon and an N-terminal GST•Tag coding sequence. The GST•Tag sequence has been reported to enhance the production and in some cases the solubility of its fusion partners. The GST•Tag is a multi-purpose tag that can be used for purific...LIC Duet™ Trx•Tag™ Ek Adaptor from Novagen
